Abstract
A retrospective analysis was performed on forty cases of spinal cord
meningiomas, operated on at Dr. Shariati Hospital from 1976 to 1990. Age and sex
distribution, clinical presentation and tumor location were comparable to those
reported by others. In males the tumors were distributed evenly in cervical and
dorsal areas and were often anterior to the cord. This finding makes a different
surgical approach necessary. For prevention of postoperative CSF leakage and
infection, repair and tight closure of the dura is mandatory. Concerning prognosis,
even in paraplegic patients the chance of complete recovery is good.

Abstract
Reported here are two cases of delayed postsurgical brucella abscess within
the cranium, treated successfully by reoperation and appropriate medical therapy.
Both patients had an occupational exposure to the pathogenic organism. Systemic
symptoms of brucellosis became manifest postoperatively in case I and were
present in case II long before operation. The diagnosis was confirmed by serology
and positive culture. Later an intracranial abscess developed in both cases at the
previous operative sites.
Hematogenous spread of bacteria to the locally low resistance host tissue was
speculated as the possible mechanism. Successful management was accomplished
by reoperation, comprised of local drainage and debridement followed by a
combined anti brucella drug regimen for a period of 6 months.
